2 The fast and easy way to create your own CableRail assemblies! Our CableRail Standard Assemblies are an easy to use option for most railing installations, but some projects have construction or design needs that require a different solution. We ve taken our patented automatic-locking-jaw technology and applied it to a full range of sleek and swageless cable end fittings that offer you the opportunity to use CableRail stainless steel cable infill to create virtually any assembly you need. Quick-Connect makes it easy Versatile - Use Quick-Connect fittings to attach CableRail to: Post or wall surfaces Angled terminations And more Automatic-Locking-Jaw Technology - Just insert the cable into the fitting, and it locks automatically. No cumbersome crimp tools or difficult to use compression fittings. Easy Cable Tensioning - fittings adjust cable tension with just a spin of the compact turnbuckle body. Fast and Easy Field Assembly - No need to pre-measure cable lengths. Made from high quality 316 marine grade stainless steel for long lasting beauty and easy maintenance.

3 2 STEP Select Your Fittings Fixed Ends are fittings that have no tensioning capabilities. Tension Adjustment Fittings are used to tighten the cable lines. Every cable assembly must be paired with a Tension Adjustment Fitting. For use with 1/8-in diameter CableRail cable only.

5 Frame Requirements Frames need to support the tension of properly installed cables. They need to be designed and built strong enough for the end and corner posts to support a load of approximately 300-lbs for each cable. Here are some basic guidelines to help you prepare your railing frames for cable infill. Posts End and Corner Posts: The end and corner posts are the cable termination/transition posts and support the full load of the taut cables. They should be sized accordingly. Intermediate Posts: The remaining intermediate posts do not support any tension load since the cables pass straight through, so they can be sized as required for cap rail support or for code. The Basic Frame Design WALL WALL End Posts: Securely bolt or lag to joists or deck surface. MAX. 3-FT Maximum Post Spacing: Space all posts and vertical spacers a maximum of 3-ft apart to minimize any deflection that may occur if the cables are ever forced apart (see below). MAX. 3-FT Intermediate Posts: Size all intermediate posts as required for cap rail support strength or for code. And Some Other Options Top Rail: Always include a strong, rigid cap rail that is securely fastened to all posts. Set railing height per local code. Cable Spacing: Maximum 3-in apart. Wood Blocking (for wood railing) Underneath the cap rail attach minimum 1x 4 wood blocking between posts to provide additional lateral reinforcement to the posts so that they won t pull out of plumb when the cables are tensioned. Double Corner Posts: If possible use double corner posts to allow the cable to run continuously through the corners without terminating (except when using composite /wrapped posts). Securely bolt or lag posts to joists or deck surface. Intermediate Picket: Intermediate pickets may be used instead of the larger intermediate posts to achieve a more open railing design. These are non-structural members and are intended to maintain cable spacing and minimize deflection. Attach them to the cap rail and either the foot rail, deck surface, or joists. Cable Spacing: Maximum 3-in apart. For complete details on railing frame requirements, please visit IMPORTANT NOTES Since building codes vary by state, county, and city, following these guidelines may not ensure code compliance in all areas. Please consult with your local building department before starting your cable project. CableRail cable assemblies and fittings are designed for use on railings, fences, and trellises only. They should never be used for lifting, hanging, or high load applications. Please check with composite material manufacturer and your contractor for recommendations regarding use with CableRail. CONSTRUCTION CHECKLIST Space cables maximum 3-in apart Space posts/verticals maximum 3-ft apart Securely fasten all posts and cap rails Carefully plan all termination and corner posts for proper clearance, positioning, and maximum cable run lengths Straight runs of cable (no turns/dips) should not exceed 50-ft Runs with corner bends (2 corner bends at most) should not exceed 40-ft Use minimum 4x6 size wood for all end and corner posts in wood railings Bottom Rails (OPTIONAL): Recommend spacing no more than 4-in (or as per code) above the deck surface. Single Corner Post (OPTIONAL): Cables must be terminated at the corners if single posts are used. Securely bolt or lag to joists or deck surface. If using QC Threaded s be sure to offset the cable drill holes by at least 1/2-in to allow internal clearance for the cable fittings. Design Ideas! DesignRail Aluminum Rail Kits: These easy-to-use kits come with top and bottom rails, an intermediate picket pre-drilled for CableRail, and the hardware needed to connect the rails to your. Kits are available for both stair and level railings and are made of high quality aluminum for long lasting beauty with low maintenance. Feeney Intermediate Pickets: Pre-drilled and pre-packaged aluminum intermediate pickets are ready to be installed.

6 Quick-Connect Assemblies Are Easy To Install 1 Measure Length Measure Length 2 3 Termination Posts Review your railing frame. Determine which posts or walls will be used for terminating the cable assemblies. Select your cable and fittings. Mark and drill holes in all posts. Hole sizes will vary depending on the size and style of cable fittings used. Lace the cable assemblies through your intermediate posts and attach the fittings to the termination posts Spin Turnbuckle Body Tighten Nut Trim cable to length. Insert cable into fitting with protection seal in place. Jaws lock automatically. CABLE ASSEMBLY CARE & MAINTENANCE The protective chromium oxide film on the surface of stainless steel gives it superior corrosion resistance. Properly maintained stainless steel provides excellent luster, strength, and durability. In most applications stainless steel will not rust or stain even after many years of service, but it is NOT rust or stain proof. When stainless comes in contact with chloride salts, sulfides, or other rusting metals, it can discolor or even rust and corrode. With proper care and maintenance, however, stainless steel can remain beautiful and functional for years to come. Clean stainless with soap and warm water. Never clean with mineral acids or bleaches. Never use coarse abrasives like sandpaper or steel wool on stainless. Use synthetic Scotch pads instead. Never leave stainless in contact with iron, steel, or other metals. This can cause rust spots or corrosion. Always remove stains or rust spots as soon as possible with either soap and water or a brass, silver, stainless, or chrome cleaner. Periodically inspect cable assemblies for proper tension and re-tension as necessary. This is important. Protection Seals are pre-inserted into the nose of each fitting to provide added protection against the entry of dirt and dust into the fitting. Tighten the cables using the Tension Adjustment Fittings. The Feeney Tension Gauge may be used to check cable tension. If using QC Threaded s, trim any excess threads and apply caps to finish the ends. Looking for more information, detailed installation instructions, or technical documentation?

For additional details, visit Section Frames: Divide your railing frame into sections by determining which walls or posts will be the cable termination points. Remember that straight runs should not exceed 50-ft and runs with bends (2 corner bends at most) should not exceed 40-ft. Calculate Quantities: The number of assemblies depends on your railing design. Please note: each horizontal cable is a separate assembly and cables should not be spaced further than 3-in apart. Calculate the number of fittings, 2 per assembly, including at least 1 tension adjustment fitting, and total cable needed for the project.
